The 3D printed bumper is fairly easy to make with most common FDM style 3D printers that on the market.
And if you don’t have access a 3D printer, you can order our parts by visiting our Thingiverse page and have a local maker 3D print the parts and ship them to you.
Slice Settings
Download the STL file and import it into your 3D printing slicing software. You'll need to adjust your settings accordingly if you're using material different than PLA.

Flexible Filament
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament is a flexible material that's ideal for gaskets, plugs, leveling feet, and mobile device cases!
There's different types of TPU, some which more elasticity than others and others with more grip.
Bed Adhesion
60C temperatures for heated beds. For non-heated beds, PEI sheet and blue tape works well.
3D Printer & Slice Setting
Follow your printers recommended settings below for a good starting point.
Print Hotter
TPU extrudes best at 220C-225C temperatures. It has a higher melting point and requires more heat than regular PLA.
